The diagnosis of herpes (cold sores) is easily made based on the visual appearance of the lesions, and the best approach is to see a doctor at the first sign of a blister.

Barrel-aged beers are typically part of big release events at your favorite craft beer destinations and, with a few exceptions, arenât going to be found every day. When you see a local brewery or craft beer bar holding a barrel-aged release, make it a point to be part of it.
